Winnipeg Floodway ski hill to open this winter on east bank
Tourism Minister Rene E. Toupin announced a new artificial ski hill on the east bank of the Winnipeg Floodway just south of Highway 59. The 60 foot rise will reach about 130 feet total with 750 to 1,000 foot runs and a portable rope tow, snow making gear, a warm-up shelter, washrooms, and a large parking area. The project, first phase of a potential major ski area, may expand to a 300 foot higher miniature mountain with landscaped slopes, chalets, and year round facilities as funds and land allow. Both floodway banks could host future development with tows and landscaping. Construction uses portable facilities to allow ongoing work next year. No precise cost is yet available after two and a half years of use for equipment operator training.
